optionsxpressNO Optionsxpress sent me an email and told me via phone not to take action on my account to avoid a margin call. They stated that they would tell me in a following email if there was going to be a margin call. I called to confirm this information because I've been told the wrong thing several times by optionsxpress an been misled too many times to count. This time optionsxpress has cost me dearly. They told me there was no immediate need to add money to my account to avoid a margin call. About an hour after that conversation, they liquidated my stock when it was at its ...

In looking at fundamentals, the stock has lost >17% of value in a small amount of time.  I beleive the overall financial markets are bringing this down even though optionsxpress clients have been faring well by utilizing hedging strategies.  The numbers are still going up when it comes to account growth and darts. While it may not be meeting expectations, I believe the P/E of <19 is discounting their potential growth.  They are heavily investing in futures and opening up the trading arena of futures for beginners as well as professionals.  Their commission rate structure seems outdated comp...

Brokerage Stocks: Trouble on the Horizon? Graphic_rating_sell OXPS

We all know that the brokers play an integral part in both trading and investing. Everyone who trades needs a brokerage account, and some people have multiple accounts with various brokers. These brokers make their money based upon the commissions that they receive, generally on a per trade basis. This has been a profitable model for these brokers, as the market conditions of years past have been bullish, which encourages people to put their money to work in the financial markets. The more money people put to work in the markets, the more commissions the brokers can earn.

OXPS takeover chatter Graphic_rating_buy OXPS

(closed on 06/24/08)


Total volume is running 9x greater than normal in OptionsXpress (OXPS) with most of the activity focused on buying June $22.5 and June $25 calls. The unusual activity is being attributed to takeover chatter. OXPS is an online broker focused on the trading of equity, ETF, and index options. It has long been mentioned as a possible takeover play in the consolidating area of online brokerage. Whether it's taken over or not, I like OXPS and will continue to hold as long as the technicals support.

OXPS is starting to gain some traction. I'm in from $20 on 4/15. I'd like to see a move past 50 EMA on stronger volume. MACD and RSI are positive.

I bought OptionsXpress (OXPS) at $20.00. The company has been lauded by the industry and the press as a model for online investing including being named Best Online Broker by Barron's in four of the last five years. OXPS has a 1.6% dividend; $669m in cash vs. $0 debt; 18.78% 5-year growth rate; 39.5% profit margin; and a .66 PEG. Thomas Stern, a company officer, recently made open market purchases of 3,000 total shares. He purchased 1000 shares on Feb. 22 at $23.85, and 2000 shares on Mar. 13 at $20.42/share. Technicals show oversold and there is long term support in the $20 range.
